Fully operational Scully / Westrex system for sale :: Berlin
Greetings Lathe people of Earth,
After cutting on my Scully Westrex system for around 8 years its time to sell. I bought the machine in Brooklyn circa 2005. Let's just say in the beginning it had a lot of issues. Since 2005 a lot of modifications have been made. 2006 Vinylium's Pitch 98 system was installed and calibrated, old manual Scully pitch gutted. Haven't had a skip since! In 2007 I moved my lathe to Berlin from NYC where I currently operate. In 2010 I had the original motor rebuilt. More recently in 2012 I had the entire 1700 series amplifier re-capped, new potentiometers and all new solder points secured by engineer Jvo Studer.
The entire package includes:
-Scully core chassis :: Carriage, Feed screw, Nikon microscope etc + 2x original panels (one is missing )
-1700 Series Amp (fully re-capped)(runs on 220v at the moment, can be converted)
-1x 3D IIa cutter head (working condition per Len Horowitz @ HRS)
-Vinylium's Pitch 98 system :: Includes main computer and controller
-Vacuum system (runs on 110v power only at the moment)
-Original Scully Westrex books
-I will throw in a reusable Helium bottle from NYC (Cannot be used in Europe)
*Buyer or anyone interested must be responsible for shipping costs. Feel free to PM with questions.

What sort of price are you looking for, ballpark?
(Not that I could afford it; I'll just be over here quietly longing and dreaming...)

Sad to see this Tim - are you getting out or getting a new system? I got my lathe right after you left Brooklyn for Berlin so we never met.

This is a beautiful system, I went to check it out on April and got a lot of inspiration for the restoration of my Scully.
If I didn't already have one, I would buy this in a heartbeat.
